Harnessing Fiber-based Natural Biomaterials: For Tissue Engineering and Regeneration explores in detail the utilization of these materials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The chapters cover fabrication techniques, scaffold design, cell interactions, and regenerative therapies along with their mechanical aspects. The book begins with an introduction to fundamental concepts, key challenges, and future opportunities for utilizing these materials in biomedical applications. Emphasis is placed on their characteristics and properties, fabrication strategies such as electrospinning, and 3D printing, as well as the source of biomaterials such as plant, animal, marine or microbial-derived biomaterials. A range of applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are detailed, including bone, cartilage, skin, and nervous tissue. This book is a valuable reference for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers, manufacturers, chemists, biomedical engineers, and those working in the research and development of natural-based scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. - Presents recent developments in research on fiber-based natural biomaterials including both mechanical and biological aspects of scaffolds, for tissue engineering and regeneration and their fabrication strategies - Delves into practical aspects such as case studies, experimental protocols, and real-world examples, allowing readers to understand how to effectively utilize these fiber-based natural biomaterials in their own research or clinical practice - Key challenges and advances are discussed in detail as well as toxicological and regulatory aspects, and future aspects along with case studies
